White output stops looking gray.

Since this patch isn't about 8bit (what 16-235 indicate),
I didn't know what to do with your comment, sorry.

As just written in the other mail:
AV_PIX_FMT_GRAY8 and AV_PIX_FMT_GRAY16 are full-scale
(because of repeated user-request).
If you want to change this, please suggest a patch but this patch
fixes current behaviour of one decoder compared to the scaler
and all other decoders.
